Hair Transplant In Women

hair-transplant-in-women

While hair is important for the personality of a man, it is nothing less than the crowning glory for a woman. So, imagine a scenario where a woman starts to lose her hair; there could be nothing more demoralizing. There are degrees of hair loss, starting from thinning to severe hair loss.

Most people are apprehensive whether a hair transplant can be done in females. Yes, we can do a transplant in females but only if the indication is right!!! These include :

  • Female pattern baldness not improving with medicines
  • Scarring alopecia (stable for a year)
  • Alopecia following trauma, burns, surgeries
  • Traction alopecia
  • Eyebrow and eyelash restoration

At AK Clinics, we offer some of the most modern treatments, with which we can assure you that you will have hair that you can flaunt. With several years of experience and state of the art machines, we have been able to change the lives of several women.

There are some important differences between a male and female transplant:

  • In males, there is a stable permanent zone that is outside the hormonal effects and acts as a good donor, while in females the donor area is thin and unstable and is under the same hormonal effects. This can lead to less growth.
  • Frontal hairline is preserved in females while this is the major area needing restoration in males. Thus the tremendous improvement obtained by hairline reconstruction in males cannot be reproduced in females
  • Females are not willing to undertake shaving of head for the procedure unlike in males. Hence it is more difficult and takes longer time to perform the transplant without trimming.
  • There is no alternate donor source for hair apart from scalp unlike in males, where body hair can also be used.

    • The above differences make it very clear that only a highly experienced surgeon can do a successful female transplant.

    The procedure done is FUE or follicular unit extraction where individual grafts are taken from the donor area and implanted on the recipient areas. We also do Bio-FUE, where along with FUE, the platelet rich plasma containing various growth factors derived from patient’s own blood are injected into the bald areas.

    The same procedure can be used to restore eyebrows and eyelashes in women to give fuller and thicker brows and lashes.
